Local record
History of this pub
The Longwall was built in 1995 on part of the original Rover car factory site at Cowley, next to what became Oxford Business Park on Garsington Road. CAMRA described a large, modern pub on several levels with a number of separate areas, all served from one big bar, as part of a complex with a Premier Inn. Its regulars were mostly hotel guests and business park staff. It closed as a pub in September 2026 with the rest of the chain and is to become a restaurant serving only the Premier Inn.
